Pictures of My New Garden and Fountain

Here is the picture I promised of my new Raised Garden and fauntain.

Now I can Enjoy

Project Completed

I spent a good part of today finishing up a project for my darling, a two level raised garden bed. In the center of the top level will be a solar powered watter fountain. It is more of a terracotta water fall actually with one bowl pouring into another and then another and another.

I am so glad it is done.

A Really Bad Play

We went to see a play called “The Cherry Sisters” tonight and left in the middle of it because it was so bad.

Spring Has Sprung At Last

I think that Spring has really come at last at least I hope so because I have cleaned up the fireplace for the Summer season. I am also building a two level raised garden bed for may darling. There are all kinds of green things coming up in our yard some wanted and some not. Along with the grass which must be mowed are wild Violets and dandelions that are lovely and editable.

I love Spring for it has a gentle quality and is the essence of simplicity. IT feels fresh, honest and gives me a lot of joy. I always thank God for spring time in my back yard.

Resurrection Sunday

Happy Resurrection Sunday

Tomb Saturday

It was a dark and sad day for the Disciples of Jesus. Their Rabbi was dead and laying in a borrowed tomb and they were hiding from the authorities. What must they have been thinking? Perhaps “How could Judas have done that?” or “What went wrong? Jesus should have been crowned King by now!”

Sadness and sorrow griped their hearts. What now?  It was the sabbath so they could not escape the city until the next day as no one travels on the sabbath. How could they know that the glory of the Resurrection was about to be theirs?

Many of us have had dark days in our lives when it seems that all is lost. Now we look back and think. “I should have known it would work out.”  We do not think that at the darkest times because we are too absorbed in the pain. The old phrase, “This too shal pass.” is often a crutch that get us through to the dawn that is to come.

Good??? Friday

Have you ever wondered why Christians call the day Jesus the Christ died on the cross “Good Friday”???

How could a day full of painful agony and the death of Jesus be called good?

Perhaps the origin comes from the term “God’s Friday” in the same way that good-bye comes from “God be with ye” and was slurred over time.  All that aside as speculation we can consider that because we now know that Resurrections Sunday follows the events of that Friday, and knowing that Jesus’ death and resurrections accomplished salvation for all of us, then the term “Good Friday” is most understandable.

Today is a day to contemplate the fact that our sins were nailed to the cross with Jesus. Because of His sacrifice we are forgiven. This is a day of prayer and meditation.
